Arriving from Poland, Joel Russ schlepped herring from a pushcart to support his family. One century later, Russ & Daughters is a New York institution, providing shoppers with everything from caviar to bialys. The shop is the centerpiece of a new documentary, The Sturgeon Queens, and third generation Mark Russ Federman’s book, Russ & Daughters: Reflections and Recipes from the House That Herring Built.
